Services are free and confidential (within the limits of California law). The clinical staff consists of licensed mental health professionals. Students may be seen for up to ten appointments each year and occasionally more. A staff person manages emerging crisis cases each weekday and is available by cell phone to consult on after-hours emergency situations. Staff members provide consultation to various University departments, faculty, and parents regarding students in crisis. Staff also conduct educational workshops with students and campus personnel to address mental health issues. Please visit CAPS website http://www.scu.edu/tcc for more information.
